Description

The Atmel ATDH40M prototyping system allows designers to quickly and economically evaluate Atmel’s family of AT40K/AT40KAL FPGA and AT94K Field Programmable System Level Integrated Circuit (FPSLIC?) devices and Atmel’s AT17 FPGA configuration memory devices. The ATDH40M board connects to any x86 PC via parallel port through a 10-pin header cable to program the AT40K/AT40KAL FPGA/AT94K FPSLIC, or through a parallel port cable to program the AT17 FPGA Configuration EEPROMs. The motherboard interfaces with various daughter boards in order to program different package footprints (see Table 1).
